traffic flow.

Introduction</title><p>For recent years, simulation study on traffic flow has been attracted much attention of physicists. Among wide variety of approaches, Cellular Automaton (CA), where vehicles are treated as discrete self-drive particles in an entirely discrete spatiotemporal system, are most heavily used because of its flexibility as well as robustness to apply various practical problems.</p><p>There have been proposed many traffic CA models so far. For example, Rule-184 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref1">1</xref>] , which was originally presented by Wolfram as a part of 256 elementary CA archetypes for general discussion, has been regarded as the simplest traffic model. Fukui-Ishibashi (FI) model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref2">2</xref>] extended vehicle’s speed v more variable;</p><p><inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://file.scirp.org/Html/htmlimages\22-1720155x\083d26fe-a62d-4b73-957b-c4a21a3b31cc.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>instead of<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://file.scirp.org/Html/htmlimages\22-1720155x\6ebcffc8-06fb-4bf3-9630-ba2008f49f01.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>. Nagel-Schreckenberg (NS) model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref3">3</xref>] , which has been most heavily</p><p>applied as a fundamental template model by many studies, considers random braking effect on the basis of FI model. Quick-start (QS) model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref4">4</xref>] takes account of driver’s anticipation effect. Slow-to-start (SlS) model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref5">5</xref>] can consider inertia effect of vehicles. Base on NS model, Stochastic Nishinari-Fukui-Schadshneider (S-NFS) model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref6">6</xref>] takes account of all those effects; random braking, quick-start as well as slow-to-start. Revised S-NFS model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref7">7</xref>] improves random braking effect in order to reproduce synchronized flow depicted in Kerner’s three phase theory [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref8">8</xref>] . Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref9">9</xref>] and Zero Range Process (ZRP) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref10">10</xref>] are simpler CA models, thus have been used by some theoretical studies.</p><p>By previous works, analytical solutions of Rule-184, ASEP and ZRP have been derived, since flux—density relation can be fixed deterministically [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref11">11</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.47219-ref12">12</xref>] . Although both FI model and QS model never contain stochastic elements, analytical solutions for those two have not been known ever. This paper reports the result of it, which we are successfully able to deduce this time. .</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.
